Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1996 is a mature village Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Jean Grivot is one of the great names of Vosne-Romanée winemaking. Winemaking is now increasingly overseen by Mathilde, daughter of Étienne and Marielle. Meticulous work in the vineyard is aimed at producing fruit of impeccable quality. In the cellar, the fruit is completely destemmed following a pre-ferment cold maceration for around one week. The wines are matured in oak barrels for 15-20 months (up to 40% new for the domaine`s best wines).

Vinous
Deep red, with ruby highlights. Sappy aromas of cassis, mint, violet and shoe polish. Leanish and penetrating, with strong acidity making it rather tough going today. The floral, mint and shoe polish notes repeat in the mouth. Finishes with tongue-drying tannins. Here's a village wine that needs at least three or four years of bottle aging.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999
